Los Angeles symphonic blackened metal act EMPYREAN THRONE have released a lyric video for the single “And None Shall Rise,” taken from forthcoming debut album “Chaosborne.” The lyric video was produced by Scott Rudd. Check it out below.
“Chaosborne” was produced by Mick Kenney (Anaal Nathrakh), features artwork by Valadislav Kutusov, and will be released August 11th via M-Theory Audio.
“And None Shall Rise is not only the subsequent single from our upcoming debut album ‘Chaosborne’, but the opening salvo in the second act of the record’s story ark. Lovecraft enthusiasts will recognize much of the themes presented within the song, including the barren setting of ice covered dreamworld Polaris. Narratively the somber and treacherous atmosphere of Polaris was a perfect companion for the bombastic arrangement of And None Shall Rise. At this point in the album’s story, our main character, a knights templar named Mathias, is locked in a battle of wills with beings of the Lovecraftian pantheon. His ideals, sacred truths, and feeble view of the world around him has been fragmented, like a broken mirror that further pains his sanity as he tries to rearrange the pieces. However, with this suffering comes illumination and the awakening of a deeper power within. Everyone experiences agony, but it is within these trials that we are able to unlock hidden parts of our being capable of great feats, strength, and resolve. We hope that you enjoy listening to And None Shall Rise. Ever vigilant disciples!” – Andrew Knudsen (Vocals)
Lyrics:
Six and Twenty Thousand Years
Hath I watched between the cosmic spheres
To worlds I’ve burned where none shall rise
Conjoined at the axis across the skies
May lull ov stars where ancients lie
Give slumber to weary traveler’s eye
Through the twisted view ov forgotten shores
Behold thy path ov the blasted lore
These visions return ov tundra and flame
A golden army marches from the west
A citadel stands vigilant yet garrisons lay barren
A sign must be sent forth from the mountains ov frost
He will not take this strange world ov ice
For his blade will continue to thirst!
Fall!
For you stand accused
Blaze!
With the might ov a thousand suns
Heed!
The leering eyeless gods
Speak!
This culling ov an Elder Race!
Six and Twenty Thousand Years
Hath I watched between the cosmic spheres
To worlds I’ve burned where none shall rise
Conjoined at the axis across the skies
May lull ov stars where ancients lie
Give slumber to weary traveler’s eye
Through the twisted view ov forgotten shores
Behold thy path ov the blasted lore
Lassitude takes its hold
In this oneiramantic nightmare
The stellar wolves call the charge
Moloch’s war cry on their crest
Give lamentations upon this fortnight
At the passing ov The Ancients
Mocked by the Eye ov The Twilight’s morass!
Let the chariot ov slumber now take thee
For your sacrifice has now been prepared
